[politics] A random musing on the occasion of Alito's nomination

Does anyone else find it interesting (and by 'interesting', I mean 'really fucking frightening') that if Alito is confirmed, the Supreme Court will start resembling an Opus Dei conclave as much as anything else? Or should I just look for the bright side of things, and take the reaction to Alito's nomination as more evidence for America's acceptance of Catholics (and by 'acceptance of Catholics', I mean 'willing to overlook their Hell-bound Papist heresies so long as we can finally start public executions of abortionists, sodomites, and fornicators')?
